Hi,I am Dr. Santosh Kondekar (Pediatrician). I will be looking into your question and guiding you through the process. Please write your question below.
My 3 year old daughter has a persistent cough which is keeping her awake at night. During the day we have sprayed with a saline nasal spray which seems to be loosening the mucus and allowing it to be discharged through the nose when sneezing. We do have a neublizer at home and Duolin for our 5 year old son. Would it be appropriate to give this to her? If not what can we do to make it easier for her to have a peaceful sleep? We have had her at the Dr twice in the last 2 weeks. First time she had a viral infection and had a course of anti-biotics. Second time she was running a high temperature and the Dr said that she had full blown flu, prescribed rinex and pain medication. Has started vomiting and dirohea since.

Suggest Treatment For Cough In Kid
Good afternoon..!! Persistent cough in your 3 year old daughter could be due to asthma / any viral infection. So get tested for swine flu to be on the safer side. Can use Syrup Ambrodil LS three times a day and lozenges for soothening effect. Duolin nebulisation is only indicated only if there is wheezing problem in her lungs like asthmatics. So if persisting, it s better to visit pediatric pulmonologist for further evaluation and management. Thank you, have a nice day..!!!
